Laki ng smile ko ngayon.

I just bought the Wolverine toy I was talking about last night. I’m pretty much satisfied (and relieved) that I was able to get one. What’s more, I also bought the Bishop figure and the X-23 figure! So currently, I am halfway of completing the series. I’m still contemplating on buying the remaining 3 figures as I do not really know them – Maestro, Sasquatch & Iron Fist.

When I got to Kidz Station last night, I saw a lone Wolverine on display. Insinctively, I grabbed it the moment I was near it. Never letting go as I peruse the other figures on display, a salesperson approached me and whispered, “Sir, kumpleto pa yang set. Meron pa sa loob”. I asked if there are variant figures and he replied no. SM Toykingdom sells the variant figures but it is included in a set of three – together with 2 normal figures. Oh well. Then I asked if there is still a Bishop figure and he said yes (kumpleto nga kasi eh, kulit ni AJ). I told him to get one. When he was getting Bishop in the backroom, I saw the X-23 figure. X-23 includes Apocalypse’s head! It was too good to let it pass. So I was in a dilemma, I have Wolverine on my left hand, Bishop is on the way, X-23 is there begging at me to buy her. Man! I did not anticipate on buying 3 figures!

The salesperson arrive. Gave me the Bishop and cajoled me on buying the set. Sir, bilhin nyo na ang set habang meron pa. Mabilis maubos.. I don’t know if he’s telling the truth or just giving me the salespitch. Come on dude, you’re Galactus Series is on sale – buy 1 take 1 for crying out loud! Yun ba ang mabilis maubos?! Of course I did not said that. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt because this is an Apocalypse Series and Wolverine and Bishop is in here! So I told him, I’ll pass this time and maybe I’ll buy the remaining three if I still have some extra money. And at the same time, I realized that since the Galactus Series is already on sale, I maybe able to buy a pair from that series. I’m thinking on buying a Professor X/Nightcrawler/Bullseye from that set.

I was feeling a bit down yesterday morning and the night before. Pen and I were exchanging text messages and she was trying to appease me. It’s a good thing to have a girlfriend that not only supports your bisyo, but is also into it. I know she’s happy that I was able to buy the toys. It made me calm down and smile on the way home. I kept texting her how happy I am on my newly acquired toys. Kaya ngayon, laki ng smile ko.

Oh btw, here are the remaining figs that I’m still thinking of buying:
Maestro, Sasquatch & IronFist
